Help adding a backup camera to my Kenwood Head Unit

My car is a '99 Coupe.

I've read a few posts, this being the best:
http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic...=backup+camera

Correct me if I'm wrong.
From the camera in the rear there is a yellow RCA that has to get back to the head unit to plug in to the video in for the camera and also a positive and ground that both connect to the drivers side tail light reverse light connection.

From the head unit there is one wire 12 volt trigger that must connect to a reverse trigger to automatically switch the screen when I put the car into reverse. Where does this wire connect, somewhere in the interior or back at the tail light?

I am not sure how to get the yellow RCA from the engine compartment through the grommet mentioned in the link I posted above and then into the interior compartment.

If any of you have done this please reply to this post with any tips that may help.

Thanks
RS

Mine comes on once the reverse lights give the camera power.

SoCal GT3 is infamous around these parts
Check this thread and look under post #4:

He shows where he tapped into a Black/blue strip wire for the reverse wire for the reverse camera underneath the driver seat as well as where he ran the video wire through into the rear of the cabin. Good luck with your install!
